Seniors Actively Living Today - SALT

We are all salt of the earth. Seniors definitely fit in this category because we can add flavor to our own lives while enriching the lives of our families. Plan to be a part of this vibrant senior group. Hope to see you whenever you can make an event geared especially to you. Each month we will sponsor an event that will rotate with Learn and Grow, Service and Social.

Past events and activities:

• Alive and Kickin, musical theatre at Bloomington Center for the Arts
• Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, day in the park
• Game days
• Guest speakers
• Museum tours
• Live shows

Mary began her work as a Community Educator with a local non-profit, teaching childbirth education classes. Assisting adults during this transition encouraged her to leave the high school classroom and focus on helping families. She spent her career as a Licensed Parent Educator at the Edina (MN) Family Center; Coordinator, then Manager of Youth and Family Services Programs at St. Louis Park (MN) Community Education; Director of Community Education for the Hastings (MN) Public Schools. Mary's specialty is working with others so that they can make a difference, either in their own lives or with others they work with. She has developed curriculum; influenced philosophical changes in the workplace and, most importantly, listened carefully to address the needs of those with whom she works.
